Dark Lore I

Dark Lore I is taken from a Jedi Apprentice that evolves into a powerful Lord of the Sith. However, as many of you know this magician failed in his destiny. We join him in the time that he is leaving his former mentor….

"What do I do? When he speaks to me, it feels like I know the answer. Or already knew it. I am tired of listening to the same phrases and sentences that seem to bind my power. Or should I say my gift. I feel this energy that seems to make me wiser than others, more intelligent, and more powerful. It seems so easy to just make others do my bidding. Especially those who cannot think for themselves. These weak minded fools have always let others make decisions for them, or followed when they should have led. The Force does work in mysterious ways. I guess he is right about that. But I feel there is so much more…many things that he is not telling me. Why? As great of a man that Obiwan is, I cannot imagine what he may fear…and what Palpatine doesn't. The Senator has a strong imagination. He believes that he can control the entire galaxy. One man. He says that his entire plan depends on me and how great a being I become. A being…I always thought of myself as a man first. Palpatine says that beings like Obiwan and this mythical Yoda are fools. They only know the knowledge of the Force. But that knowledge will never be good in a battle… Never aid you when you must make a sudden decision, and will be your downfall before you savior. Something just does not make sense. Why would Ben lie to me all these years? What does he not want me to know? Why does what Palpatine tell me feel so right? I have read the lore, and heard the code that states that I should beware of the Dark side. But the Lore never tells me why? What is so wrong with wanting to use my gift to benefit myself as much as others? To me things change. I believe we are in control of our own destiny, but we can also change it anytime we want to. It just takes practice, and patience. I guess Ben is right when he says the time will come. I just know that my time is now. I can feel it. I know what Ben is going to say before he even says it. I know that I am as powerful as he, if not more. I have made three lightsabers in the time it takes a normal apprentice one. The first I made under Ben's observation. The beam was an aqua blue, and the handle was a traditional cut. The second was a little bigger. The beam was a scarlet red, and the handle had an extra casing in case it was being used in the cold or extreme temperatures. Gloves sometimes hinder the movement of the blade in the hand. The last was going to be a teal green. At least the jewel was. The ironic thing is that during construction the jewel cracked on its' own. I did not drop it or anything… one day I just noticed that it had a crack in it. I ended the construction at this time, and eventually the jewel split into two equal halves. Ben does not know that I made the others. He would just frown, and calmly fuss at me. He would say "Anakin, you must have greater patience. If you rush your training, you will fall to the Dark Side of the Force." How does he know if he has never been there? The Dark Side of the Force. Ben says that the Ashla has another side to it. An equal. I believe it is called the Bogan. Ben never told me the name but Palpatine did. He says that with my quick reflexes and natural gift for the Force, I could be the most powerful Jedi ever. Ben says that power corrupts the mind. Palpatine says that power makes the mind stronger. I do not know who to believe. It is just that when Palpatine speaks to me, I feel relaxed, but also a little tension. I do not believe that it is coming from Palpatine, but he just makes me nervous anyway. When I speak with Ben, I always feel like he is looking down upon me…as if he were better. He can't always be right…nobody is always right. Are they? I feel my emotions becoming a larger part of my life. When I am in a dogfight, I can sense my opponent's moves, but my reflexes are even faster than usual. I get so nervous up there sometimes, but that nervous energy gives me a greater power. A stronger connection to the Force…an aspect that Ben never told me about. I have forseen possible futures in which one of us no longer exist. I have seen images of Ben and myself, Palpatine and myself, and another whose face is not clear to me yet, but I know him. Palpatine told me that the time has come for me to tell Ben how I feel. To make him understand that I am tired of these old Jedi ways. I want to explore.
